Artits’s Statement

This is a tale of the rainy season
A poem about water that flows
like flash floods over the earth
when all is dusk and breath
stops before the night

But you know my dear, that
At every rainy season
Water washes and cleanses the thrash
It evokes the seed of life
And when morning breaks
the rays of the morning sun
will shine again denoting hope
and new life…
